Amazing Sledgehammer looping cover

submitted by grantv
1 decade 4 years 11 months 2 weeks ago

Gavin Castleton performs a bedroom version of his "Sledgehammer" cover using Ableton Live 8, an FCB1010 midi foot controller, an M-Audio Trigger Finger, a Wurlitzer 200A eletric piano, and a Roland JP8000. All effects (including the vocoder which is being fed from a vocal delay aux send and the JP8000) are Ableton components. The audio was outsourced to another computer and multi-tracked for a much improved final mix (where some of the master cutouts were executed). Due to a total lack of budget (only 2 "cameras"), there are shots of earlier takes mixed in with the final take footage.

This is worth watching several times. I wonder if Peter has seen it . . .

Wow, that was very nicely done!

Well that was fucking excellent.

I love how these looping performances just keep getting more cool as the layers pile up.

The ending was too abrupt though, and how did he change the drumbeat at the end??
